COVER Ann BRUSH-HOLDE To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELLA BAUneAR r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Red 'ing. in the county of Goodliue and State .Holders for .\'tucilage-Bottles,

have invented new and useand Brushot' which the of Minnesota, iul Improvements in Covers following is a specification.

This invention is an improved cover and brush holder for mucilage bottles, adapted to perform the functions of a cover for exeluding dust and dirt from a mucilage bott le and to also hold the brush in the bottle at the proper depth .to prevent the mucilage from drying on the brush and also prevent the niucilage from caking and drying on the brush handle, and, further adapted to hold the brush exteriorly of the bot.- tle when the brush is in use and while the bottle is open, the invention consisting in the construction, combination and arrange ment of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a perspective View of a cover and brush holder constructed in. accordance with my invention, showing the same on a. mucilage bi i'tle and with the cover closed andv the in ash arranged in the bottle. Fig. 2is a detail perspective View of my improved cover and brush holder. showing the cover open. Fig. 3 is a verticalsectional view of a portion of'a' mucilage bottle provided with my improved cover and brush holder.

In accordance with my invention, I provide a cm'er 1,which may be made of sheet metal or anv other suitable material, is of a size and shape adapting it to fit on the mouth of'a mueilage bottle, is provided at oneqside with a recess 2 for the passage of the handle of a mucilage'brush and is provided at the opposite side with a projecting lip 3 which is upturned. I also provide a wire clamp 4 which is in the form of an open ring, is made of spring wire of suitable gage and is adapted to extend around and to firmly clamp the neck of a. bottle such as indicated at a. This clamping ring is formed at what I call .the rear side with a vertical,

a horizontally arranged, U-shaped spring hook The handle. I) of the mucilage brush 0 may be engaged with the hook 8 when the brush is in the bottle, with its handle extending up through the opening 2 and it will be understood that the hook 8 by engage 'DlQlli with the brush handle may be caused to support the brush at any desired vertical adjustment so that its head may be kept submerged in the mucilage and prevented trom becoming crusted and the handle of the. brush may he kept above the level of the mucilage and also prevented from becoming crusted with dry mucilage. \Vhile the brush is in use, it may be supported by arranging its handle in the hook 6 as iiidicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, thus preventing mucilage from dropping from the brush on the d'csk or other work.

My improved mueilage bottle cover and brush holder is extremely cheap and simple and may be readily attached to and detached from any ordinary mucilage bottle.
